Our TECHNICAL ANALYSIS complements our fundamental approach, guaranteeing the right DISCIPLINE: Control emotions (a wise man should have money in his head, but not in his heart). Minimize losses (cut your losses = capital preservation). Maximize profits (let your profit run). 14

Trust, trustee and foundation services A fiduciary structure can help preserve your wealth and offers you greater flexibility over the management and distribution of your assets. The most common type of fiduciary structure is a trust, a binding arrangement whereby assets are transferred to a trustee who is required to administer the trust assets for the benefit of specified beneficiaries strictly in accordance with the terms of the trust. Foundations are a very important component when structuring the ownership of family and corporate assets, and are particularly important where trusts are generally not requested. They are similar to corporate entities but afford the protection and continuity derived from the use of trusts. 21
